Evidence of differential control of renal and lumbar sympathetic nerve activity in conscious rabbits
Ramchandra R Barrett CJ Guild SJ Malpas SC 《American journal of physiology. Regulatory, integrative and comparative physiology》2006,290(3):R701-R708
We have explored the possibility that renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) and vasomotor sympathetic nerve activity are differentially regulated. We measured sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) to the kidney and the hind limb vasculature in seven conscious rabbits 6-8 days after the implantation of recording electrodes. Acute infusion of N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) (6 mg.kg(-1).min(-1) for 5 min) led to an increase in blood pressure (from 66 +/- 1 to 82 +/- 3 mmHg) and a decrease in heart rate (from 214 +/- 15 to 160 +/- 13 bpm). L-NAME administration caused a significantly greater decrease in RSNA than lumbar sympathetic nerve activity (LSNA) (to 68 +/- 14% vs. 84 +/- 4% of control values, respectively). Volume expansion (1.5 ml.kg(-1).min(-1)) resulted in a significant decrease in RSNA to 66 +/- 7% of control levels but no change in LSNA (127 +/- 20%). There was no difference in the gain of the baroreflex curves between the LSNA and RSNA [maximum gain of -7.6 +/- 0.4 normalized units (nu)/mmHg for LSNA vs. -7.9 +/- 0.75 nu/mmHg for RSNA]. A hypoxic stimulus (10% O2 and 3% CO2) led to identical increases in both RSNA and LSNA (195 +/- 40% and 158 +/- 21% of control values, respectively). Our results indicate tailored differential control of RSNA and LSNA in response to acute stimuli. 相似文献

This study examined the role of leucine-enkephalin (LE) in the sympathetic regulation of the cardiac pacemaker. LE was administered by microdialysis into the interstitium of the canine sinoatrial node during either sympathetic nerve stimulation or norepinephrine infusion. In study one, the right cardiac sympathetic nerves were isolated as they exit the stellate ganglion and were stimulated to produce graded (low, 20-30 bpm; high 40-50 bpm) increases in heart rate (HR). LE (1.5 nmoles/min) was added to the dialysis inflow and the sympathetic stimulations were repeated after 5 and 20 min of LE infusion. After 5 min, LE reduced the tachycardia during sympathetic stimulation at both low (18.2 +/- 1.3 bpm to 11.4 +/- 1.4 bpm) and high (45 +/- 1.5 bpm to 22.8 +/- 1.5 bpm) frequency stimulations. The inhibition was maintained during 20 min of continuous LE exposure with no evidence of opioid desensitization. The delta-opioid antagonist, naltrindole (1.1 nmoles/min), restored only 30% of the sympathetic tachycardia. Nodal delta-receptors are vagolytic and vagal stimulations were included in the protocol as positive controls. LE reduced vagal bradycardia by 50% and naltrindole completely restored the vagal bradycardia. In Study 2, additional opioid antagonists were used to determine if alternative opioid receptors might be implicated in the sympatholytic response. Increasing doses of the kappa-antagonist, norbinaltorphimine (norBNI), were combined with LE during sympathetic stimulation. NorBNI completely restored the sympathetic tachycardia with an ED50 of 0.01 nmoles/min. A single dose of the micro -antagonist, CTAP (1.0 nmoles/min), failed to alter the sympatholytic effect of LE. Study 3 was conducted to determine if the sympatholytic effect was prejunctional or postjunctional in character. Norepinephrine was added to the dialysis inflow at a rate (30-45 pmoles/min) sufficient to produce intermediate increases (35.2 +/- 1.8 bpm) in HR. LE was then combined with norepinephrine and responses were recorded at 5-min intervals for 20 min. The tachycardia mediated by added norepinephrine was unaltered by LE or LE plus naltrindole. At the same 5-min intervals, LE reduced vagal bradycardia by more than 50%. This vagolytic effect was again completely reversed by naltrindole. Collectively, these observations support the hypothesis that the local nodal sympatholytic effect of LE was mediated by kappa-opioid receptors that reduced the effective interstitial concentration of norepinephrine and not the result of a postjunctional interaction between LE and norepinephrine. 相似文献

A new system was developed in our laboratory to continuously monitor intra-arterial pressure, heart rate, and sympathetic nerve activity in unanesthetized rats. The animals were prepared 24 h before the start of the experiments. Sympathoneural traffic was measured at the level of splanchnic nerve. The amplitude of the spikes recorded at this level was utilized to express sympathetic nerve activity. The amplitude of the residual electroneurogram signal present 30 min after the rats were killed was 32 +/- 2 mV (mean +/- SE; n = 11). For analysis, these background values were subtracted from values determined in vivo. The nerve we studied contains postganglionic fibers, since electrical activity decreased in response to ganglionic blockade with pentolinium (1.25 mg/min iv for 4 min). The amplitude of spikes fell by 43 +/- 4% (n = 4). Sympathetic nerve activity was highly reproducible at a 24-h interval (104 +/- 26 vs. 111 +/- 27 mV for the amplitude of spikes; n = 11). Dose-response curves to the alpha 1-stimulant methoxamine and to bradykinin were established in four rats. The increase in blood pressure induced by methoxamine caused a dose-dependent fall in sympathetic nerve activity, whereas the blood pressure reduction resulting from bradykinin was associated with a dose-dependent activation of sympathetic drive. These data therefore indicate that it is possible with out system to accurately measure sympathetic nerve activity in the awake rat, together with intra-arterial pressure and heart rate. 相似文献

Complex sympathovagal interactions govern heart rate (HR). Activation of the postjunctional beta-adrenergic receptors on the sinus nodal cells augments the HR response to vagal stimulation, whereas exogenous activation of the presynaptic alpha-adrenergic receptors on the vagal nerve terminals attenuates vagal control of HR. Whether the alpha-adrenergic mechanism associated with cardiac postganglionic sympathetic nerve activation plays a significant role in modulation of the dynamic vagal control of HR remains unknown. The right vagal nerve was stimulated in seven anesthetized rabbits that had undergone sinoaortic denervation and vagotomy according to a binary white-noise signal (0-10 Hz) for 10 min; subsequently, the transfer function from vagal stimulation to HR was estimated. The effects of beta-adrenergic blockade with propranolol (1 mg/kg i.v.) and the combined effects of beta-adrenergic blockade and tonic cardiac sympathetic nerve stimulation at 5 Hz were examined. The transfer function from vagal stimulation to HR approximated a first-order, low-pass filter with pure delay. beta-Adrenergic blockade decreased the dynamic gain from 6.0 +/- 0.4 to 3.7 +/- 0.6 beats x min(-1) x Hz(-1) (P < 0.01) with no alteration of the corner frequency or pure delay. Under beta-adrenergic blockade conditions, tonic sympathetic stimulation did not further change the dynamic gain (3.8 +/- 0.5 beats x min(-1) x Hz(-1)). In conclusion, cardiac postganglionic sympathetic nerve stimulation did not affect the dynamic HR response to vagal stimulation via the alpha-adrenergic mechanism. 相似文献

To better understand the central mechanisms that mediate increases in heart rate (HR) during psychological stress, we examined the effects of systemic and intramedullary (raphe region) administration of the serotonin-1A (5-HT(1A)) receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetraline (8-OH-DPAT) on cardiac changes elicited by restraint in hooded Wistar rats with preimplanted ECG telemetric transmitters. 8-OH-DPAT reduced basal HR from 356 +/- 12 to 284 +/- 12 beats/min, predominantly via a nonadrenergic, noncholinergic mechanism. Restraint stress caused tachycardia (an initial transient increase from 318 +/- 3 to 492 +/- 21 beats/min with a sustained component of 379 +/- 12 beats/min). beta-Adrenoreceptor blockade with atenolol suppressed the sustained component, whereas muscarinic blockade with methylscopolamine (50 microg/kg) abolished the initial transient increase, indicating that sympathetic activation and vagal withdrawal were responsible for the tachycardia. Systemic administration of 8-OH-DPAT (10, 30, and 100 microg/kg) attenuated stress-induced tachycardia in a dose-dependent manner, and this effect was suppressed by the 5-HT(1A) antagonist WAY-100635 (100 microg/kg). Given alone, the antagonist had no effect. Systemically injected 8-OH-DPAT (100 microg/kg) attenuated the sympathetically mediated sustained component (from +85 +/- 19 to +32 +/- 9 beats/min) and the vagally mediated transient (from +62 +/- 5 to +25 +/- 3 beats/min). Activation of 5-HT(1A) receptors in the medullary raphe by microinjection of 8-OH-DPAT mimicked the antitachycardic effect of the systemically administered drug but did not affect basal HR. We conclude that tachycardia induced by restraint stress is due to a sustained increase in cardiac sympathetic activity associated with a transient vagal withdrawal. Activation of central 5-HT(1A) receptors attenuates this tachycardia by suppressing autonomic effects. At least some of the relevant receptors are located in the medullary raphe-parapyramidal area. 相似文献

The parasympathetic (P) nervous system is thought to contribute significantly to focal atrial fibrillation (AF). Thus we hypothesized that P nerve fibers [and related muscarinic (M(2)) receptors] are preferentially located in the posterior left atrium (PLA) and that selective cholinergic blockade in the PLA can be successfully performed to alter vagal AF substrate. The PLA, pulmonary veins (PVs), and left atrial appendage (LAA) from six dogs were immunostained for sympathetic (S) nerves, P nerves, and M(2) receptors. Epicardial electrophysiological mapping was performed in seven additional dogs. The PLA was the most richly innervated, with nerve bundles containing P and S fibers (0.9 +/- 1, 3.2 +/- 2.5, and 0.17 +/- 0.3/cm(2) in the PV, PLA, and LAA, respectively, P < 0.001); nerve bundles were located in fibrofatty tissue as well as in surrounding myocardium. P fibers predominated over S fibers within bundles (P-to-S ratio = 4.4, 7.2, and 5.8 in PV, PLA, and LAA, respectively). M(2) distribution was also most pronounced in the PLA (17.8 +/- 8.3, 14.3 +/- 7.3, and 14.5 +/- 8 M(2)-stained cells/cm(2) in the PLA, PV, and LAA, respectively, P = 0.012). Left cervical vagal stimulation (VS) caused significant effective refractory period shortening in all regions, with easily inducible AF. Topical application of 1% tropicamide to the PLA significantly attenuated VS-induced effective refractory period shortening in the PLA, PV, and LAA and decreased AF inducibility by 92% (P < 0.001). We conclude that 1) P fibers and M(2) receptors are preferentially located in the PLA, suggesting an important role for this region in creation of vagal AF substrate and 2) targeted P blockade in the PLA is feasible and results in attenuation of vagal responses in the entire left atrium and, consequently, a change in AF substrate. 相似文献

The present study tested the hypothesis that activation of the parasympathetic nervous system could attenuate sympathetic activation to the pancreas. To test this hypothesis, we measured pancreatic norepinephrine (NE) spillover (PNESO) in anesthetized dogs during bilateral thoracic sympathetic nerve stimulation (SNS; 8 Hz, 1 ms, 10 mA, 10 min) with and without (randomized design) simultaneous bilateral cervical vagal nerve stimulation (VNS; 8 Hz, 1 ms, 10 mA, 10 min). During SNS alone, PNESO increased from the baseline of 431 +/- 88 pg/min to an average of 5,137 +/- 1,075 pg/min (P < 0.05) over the stimulation period. Simultaneous SNS and VNS resulted in a significantly (P < 0.01) decreased PNESO response [from 411 +/- 61 to an average of 2,760 +/- 1,005 pg/min (P < 0.05) over the stimulation period], compared with SNS alone. Arterial NE levels increased during SNS alone from 130 +/- 11 to approximately 600 pg/ml (P < 0.05); simultaneous SNS and VNS produced a significantly (P < 0.05) smaller response (142 +/- 17 to 330 pg/ml). Muscarinic blockade could not prevent the effect of VNS from reducing the increase in PNESO or arterial NE in response to SNS. It is concluded that parasympathetic neural activity opposes sympathetic neural activity not only at the level of the islet but also at the level of the nerves. This neural inhibition is not mediated via muscarinic mechanisms. 相似文献

Aging is associated with altered autonomic control of cardiovascular function, but baroreflex function in animal models of aging remains controversial. In this study, pressor and depressor agent-induced reflex bradycardia and tachycardia were attenuated in conscious old (24 mo) rats [57 and 59% of responses in young (10 wk) Wistar rats, respectively]. The intrinsic heart rate (HR, 339 +/- 5 vs. 410 +/- 10 beats/min) was reduced in aged animals, but no intergroup differences in resting mean arterial blood pressure (MAP, 112 +/- 3 vs. 113 +/- 5 mmHg) or HR (344 +/- 9 vs. 347 +/- 9 beats/min) existed between old and young rats, respectively. The aged group also exhibited a depressed (49%) parasympathetic contribution to the resting HR value (vagal effect) but preserved sympathetic function after intravenous methylatropine and propranolol. An implantable electrode revealed tonic renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) was similar between groups. However, old rats showed impaired baroreflex control of HR and RSNA after intravenous nitroprusside (-0.63 +/- 0. 18 vs. -1.84 +/- 0.4 bars x cycle(-1) x mmHg(-1) x s(-1)). Therefore, aging in rats is associated with 1) preserved baseline MAP, HR, and RSNA, 2) impaired baroreflex control of HR and RSNA, and 3) altered autonomic control of resting HR. 相似文献

The realization mechanisms of phenomena of sympathetic nerve potentiation of vagal stimulation of motor activity of duodenal and jejunal intestine, urinary bladder and ureters, uterus and tubes, vas deference and mechanism of sympathetic nerve potentiation of vagal cardioinhibitory action were studied. There were demonstrated that these phenomena were realized with participation of preganglionic serotoninergic nerve fibers transmitting an excitation on ganglionary serotoninergic neurons. It was found an existence of increasing cranio-caudal and decreasing ventro-dorsal gradients of serotoninergic innervation of visceral organs. 相似文献

Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) leads to increased sympathetic nerve activity and arterial hypertension. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that CIH impairs baroreflex (BR) control of heart rate (HR) in mice, and that decreased cardiac chronotropic responsiveness to vagal efferent activity contributes to such impairment. C57BL/6J mice were exposed to either room air (RA) or CIH (6-min alternations of 21% O(2) and 5.7% O(2), 12 h/day) for 90 days. After the treatment period, mice were anesthetized (Avertin) and arterial blood pressure (ABP) was measured from the femoral artery. Mean ABP (MABP) was significantly increased in mice exposed to CIH (98.7 +/- 2.5 vs. RA: 78.9 +/- 1.4 mmHg, P < 0.001). CIH increased HR significantly (584.7 +/- 8.9 beats/min; RA: 518.2 +/- 17.9 beats/min, P < 0.05). Sustained infusion of phenylephrine (PE) at different doses (0.1-0.4 microg/min) significantly increased MABP in both CIH and RA mice, but the ABP-mediated decreases in HR were significantly attenuated in mice exposed to CIH (P < 0.001). In contrast, decreases in HR in response to electrical stimulation of the left vagus nerve (30 microA, 2-ms pulses) were significantly enhanced in mice exposed to CIH compared with RA mice at low frequencies. We conclude that CIH elicits a sustained impairment of baroreflex control of HR in mice. The blunted BR-mediated bradycardia occurs despite enhanced cardiac chronotropic responsiveness to vagal efferent stimulation. This suggests that an afferent and/or a central defect is responsible for the baroreflex impairment following CIH. 相似文献

Sustained and episodic hypoxic exposures lead, by two different mechanisms, to an increase in ventilation after the exposure is terminated. Our aim was to investigate whether the pattern of hypoxia, cyclic or sustained, influences sympathetic activity and hemodynamics in the postexposure period. We measured sympathetic activity (peroneal microneurography), hemodynamics [plethysmographic forearm blood flow (FBF), arterial pressure, heart rate], and peripheral chemosensitivity in normal volunteers on two occasions during and after 2 h of either exposure. By design, mean arterial oxygen saturation was lower during sustained relative to cyclic hypoxia. Baseline to recovery muscle sympathetic nerve activity and blood pressure went from 15.7 +/- 1.2 to 22.6 +/- 1.9 bursts/min (P < 0.01) and from 85.6 +/- 3.2 to 96.1 +/- 3.3 mmHg (P < 0.05) after sustained hypoxia, respectively, but did not exhibit significant change from 13.6 +/- 1.5 to 17.3 +/- 2.5 bursts/min and 84.9 +/- 2.8 to 89.8 +/- 2.5 mmHg after cyclic hypoxia. A significant increase in FBF occurred after sustained, but not cyclic, hypoxia, from 2.3 +/- 0.2 to 3.29 +/- 0.4 and from 2.2 +/- 0.1 to 3.1 +/- 0.5 ml.min(-1).100 g of tissue(-1), respectively. Neither exposure altered the ventilatory response to progressive isocapnic hypoxia. Two hours of sustained hypoxia increased not only muscle sympathetic nerve activity but also arterial blood pressure. In contrast, cyclic hypoxia produced slight but not significant changes in hemodynamics and sympathetic activity. These findings suggest the cardiovascular response to acute hypoxia may depend on the intensity, rather than the pattern, of the hypoxic exposure. 相似文献

Sympathetic adaptations to one-legged training. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of leg exercise training on sympathetic nerve responses at rest and during dynamic exercise. Six men were trained by using high-intensity interval and prolonged continuous one-legged cycling 4 day/wk, 40 min/day, for 6 wk. Heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA; peroneal nerve) were measured during 3 min of upright dynamic one-legged knee extensions at 40 W before and after training. After training, peak oxygen uptake in the trained leg increased 19 +/- 2% (P < 0.01). At rest, heart rate decreased from 77 +/- 3 to 71 +/- 6 beats/min (P < 0.01) with no significant changes in MAP (91 +/- 7 to 91 +/- 11 mmHg) and MSNA (29 +/- 3 to 28 +/- 1 bursts/min). During exercise, both heart rate and MAP were lower after training (108 +/- 5 to 96 +/- 5 beats/min and 132 +/- 8 to 119 +/- 4 mmHg, respectively, during the third minute of exercise; P < 0.01). MSNA decreased similarly from rest during the first 2 min of exercise both before and after training. However, MSNA was significantly less during the third minute of exercise after training (32 +/- 2 to 22 +/- 3 bursts/min; P < 0.01). This training effect on MSNA remained when MSNA was expressed as bursts per 100 heartbeats. Responses to exercise in five untrained control subjects were not different at 0 and 6 wk. These results demonstrate that exercise training prolongs the decrease in MSNA during upright leg exercise and indicates that attenuation of MSNA to exercise reported with forearm training also occurs with leg training. 相似文献

Although acute myocardial ischemia or infarction may induce the Bezold-Jarisch (BJ) reflex through the activation of serotonin receptors on vagal afferent nerves, the mechanism by which the BJ reflex modulates the dynamic characteristics of arterial pressure (AP) regulation is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the BJ reflex induced by intravenous phenylbiguanide (PBG) on the dynamic characteristics of the arterial baroreflex. In seven anesthetized rabbits, we perturbed intracarotid sinus pressure (CSP) according to a white noise sequence while renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA), AP, and heart rate (HR) were recorded. We estimated the transfer function from CSP to RSNA (neural arc) and from RSNA to AP (peripheral arc) before and after 10 min of intravenous administration of PBG (100 microg. kg-1. min-1). The intravenous PBG decreased mean AP from 84.5 +/- 4.0 to 68.2 +/- 4.7 mmHg (P < 0.01), mean RSNA to 76.2 +/- 7.0% (P < 0.05), and mean HR from 301.6 +/- 7.7 to 288.4 +/- 9.0 beats/min (P < 0.01). The intravenous PBG significantly decreased neural arc dynamic gain at 0.01 Hz (1.06 +/- 0.08 vs. 0.59 +/- 0.17, P < 0.05), whereas it did not affect that of the peripheral arc (1.20 +/- 0.12 vs. 1.18 +/- 0.41). In six different rabbits without intravenous PBG, the neural arc transfer function did not change between two experimental runs with intervening interval of 10 min, excluding the possibility that the cumulative effects of anesthetics had altered the neural arc transfer function. In conclusion, excessive activation of the BJ reflex during acute myocardial ischemia may exert an adverse effect on AP regulation, not only by sympathetic suppression, but also by attenuating baroreflex dynamic gain. 相似文献

Increasing efferent renal sympathetic nerve activity (ERSNA) increases afferent renal nerve activity (ARNA). To test whether the ERSNA-induced increases in ARNA involved norepinephrine activating alpha-adrenoceptors on the renal sensory nerves, we examined the effects of renal pelvic administration of the alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-adrenoceptor antagonists prazosin and rauwolscine on the ARNA responses to reflex increases in ERSNA (placing the rat's tail in 49 degrees C water) and renal pelvic perfusion with norepinephrine in anesthetized rats. Hot tail increased ERSNA and ARNA, 6,930 +/- 900 and 4,870 +/- 670%.s (area under the curve ARNA vs. time). Renal pelvic perfusion with norepinephrine increased ARNA 1,870 +/- 210%.s. Immunohistochemical studies showed that the sympathetic and sensory nerves were closely related in the pelvic wall. Renal pelvic perfusion with prazosin blocked and rauwolscine enhanced the ARNA responses to reflex increases in ERSNA and norepinephrine. Studies in a denervated renal pelvic wall preparation showed that norepinephrine increased substance P release, from 8 +/- 1 to 16 +/- 1 pg/min, and PGE(2) release, from 77 +/- 11 to 161 +/- 23 pg/min, suggesting a role for PGE(2) in the norepinephrine-induced activation of renal sensory nerves. Prazosin and indomethacin reduced and rauwolscine enhanced the norepinephrine-induced increases in substance P and PGE(2). PGE(2) enhanced the norepinephrine-induced activation of renal sensory nerves by stimulation of EP4 receptors. Interaction between ERSNA and ARNA is modulated by norepinephrine, which increases and decreases the activation of the renal sensory nerves by stimulating alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-adrenoceptors, respectively, on the renal pelvic sensory nerve fibers. Norepinephrine-induced activation of the sensory nerves is dependent on renal pelvic synthesis/release of PGE(2). 相似文献

Differential distribution of muscle and skin sympathetic nerve activity in patients with end-stage renal disease 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is characterized by resting sympathetic overactivity. Baseline muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), which is governed by baroreflexes and chemoreflexes, is elevated in ESRD. Whether resting skin sympathetic nerve activity (SSNA), which is independent from baroreflex and chemoreflex control, is also elevated has never been reported in renal failure. The purpose of this study was to determine whether sympathetic overactivity of ESRD is generalized to include the skin distribution. We measured sympathetic nerve activity to both muscle and skin using microneurography in eight ESRD patients and eight controls. MSNA was significantly (P = 0.025) greater in ESRD (37.3 +/- 3.6 bursts/min) when compared with controls (23.1 +/- 4.4 bursts/min). However, SSNA was not elevated in ESRD (ESRD vs. controls, 17.6 +/- 2.2 vs. 16.1 +/- 1.7 bustst/min, P = 0.61). Similar results were obtained when MSNA was quantified as bursts per 100 heartbeats. We report the novel finding that although sympathetic activity directed to muscle is significantly elevated, activity directed to skin is not elevated in ESRD. The differential distribution of sympathetic outflow to the muscle vs. skin in ESRD is similar to the pattern seen in other disease states characterized by sympathetic overactivity such as heart failure and obesity. 相似文献

We examined the neurocirculatory and ventilatory responses to intermittent asphyxia (arterial O(2) saturation = 79-85%, end-tidal PCO(2) =3-5 Torr above eupnea) in seven healthy humans during wakefulness. The intermittent asphyxia intervention consisted of 20-s asphyxic exposures alternating with 40-s periods of room-air breathing for a total of 20 min. Minute ventilation increased during the intermittent asphyxia period (14.2 +/- 2.0 l/min in the final 5 min of asphyxia vs. 7.5 +/- 0.4 l/min in baseline) but returned to the baseline level within 2 min after completion of the series of asphyxic exposures. Muscle sympathetic nerve activity increased progressively, reaching 175 +/- 12% of baseline in the final 5 min of the intervention. Unlike ventilation, sympathetic activity remained elevated for at least 20 min after removal of the chemical stimuli (150 +/- 10% of baseline in the last 5 min of the recovery period). Intermittent asphyxia caused a small, but statistically significant, increase in heart rate (64 +/- 4 beats/min in the final 5 min of asphyxia vs. 61 +/- 4 beats/min in baseline); however, this increase was not sustained after the return to room-air breathing. These data demonstrate that relatively short-term exposure to intermittent asphyxia causes sympathetic activation that persists after removal of the chemical stimuli. This carryover effect provides a potential mechanism whereby intermittent asphyxia during sleep could lead to chronic sympathetic activation in patients with sleep apnea syndrome. 相似文献

Urotensin II (UII) is a highly conserved peptide that has potent cardiovascular actions following central and systemic administration. To determine whether the cardiovascular actions of UII are mediated via beta-adrenoceptors, we examined the effect of intravenous (IV) propranolol on the responses to intracerebroventricular (ICV) and IV administration of UII in conscious sheep. Sheep were surgically instrumented with ICV guide tubes and flow probes or cardiac sympathetic nerve recording electrodes. ICV UII (0.2 nmol/kg over 1 h) caused prolonged increases in heart rate (HR; 33 +/- 11 beats/min; P < 0.01), dF/dt (581 +/- 83 L/min/s; P < 0.001) and cardiac output (2.3 +/- 0.4 L/min; P < 0.001), accompanied by increases in coronary (19.8 +/- 5.4 mL/min; P < 0.01), mesenteric (211 +/- 50 mL/min; P < 0.05) and iliac (162 +/- 31 mL/min; P < 0.001) blood flows and plasma glucose (7.0 +/- 2.6 mmol/L; P < 0.05). Propranolol (30 mg bolus followed by 0.5 mg/kg/h IV) prevented the cardiac responses to ICV UII and inhibited the mesenteric vasodilatation. At 2 h after ICV UII, when HR and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were increased, cardiac sympathetic nerve activity (CSNA) was unchanged and the relation between CSNA and diastolic pressure was shifted to the right (P < 0.05). The hyperglycemia following ICV UII was abolished by ganglion blockade but not propranolol. IV UII (20 nmol/kg) caused a transient increase in HR and fall in stroke volume; these effects were not blocked by propranolol. These results demonstrate that the cardiac actions of central UII depend on beta-adrenoreceptor stimulation, secondary to increased CSNA and epinephrine release, whereas the cardiac actions of systemic UII are not mediated by beta-adrenoreceptors and probably depend on a direct action of UII on the heart. 相似文献

Vagal control of heart rate (HR) is mediated by direct and indirect actions of ACh. Direct action of ACh activates the muscarinic K(+) (K(ACh)) channels, whereas indirect action inhibits adenylyl cyclase. The role of the K(ACh) channels in the overall picture of vagal HR control remains to be elucidated. We examined the role of the K(ACh) channels in the transfer characteristics of the HR response to vagal stimulation. In nine anesthetized sinoaortic-denerved and vagotomized rabbits, the vagal nerve was stimulated with a binary white-noise signal (0-10 Hz) for examination of the dynamic characteristic and in a step-wise manner (5, 10, 15, and 20 Hz/min) for examination of the static characteristic. The dynamic transfer function from vagal stimulation to HR approximated a first-order, low-pass filter with a lag time. Tertiapin, a selective K(ACh) channel blocker (30 nmol/kg iv), significantly decreased the dynamic gain from 5.0 +/- 1.2 to 2.0 +/- 0.6 (mean +/- SD) beats.min(-1).Hz(-1) (P < 0.01) and the corner frequency from 0.25 +/- 0.03 to 0.06 +/- 0.01 Hz (P < 0.01) without changing the lag time (0.37 +/- 0.04 vs. 0.39 +/- 0.05 s). Moreover, tertiapin significantly attenuated the vagal stimulation-induced HR decrease by 46 +/- 21, 58 +/- 18, 65 +/- 15, and 68 +/- 11% at stimulus frequencies of 5, 10, 15, and 20 Hz, respectively. We conclude that K(ACh) channels contribute to a rapid HR change and to a larger decrease in the steady-state HR in response to more potent tonic vagal stimulation. 相似文献

Recent studies indicate that renal sympathetic nerve activity is chronically suppressed during ANG II hypertension. To determine whether cardiopulmonary reflexes and/or arterial baroreflexes mediate this chronic renal sympathoinhibition, experiments were conducted in conscious dogs subjected to unilateral renal denervation and surgical division of the urinary bladder into hemibladders to allow separate 24-h urine collection from denervated (Den) and innervated (Inn) kidneys. Dogs were studied 1) intact, 2) after thoracic vagal stripping to eliminate afferents from cardiopulmonary and aortic receptors [cardiopulmonary denervation (CPD)], and 3) after subsequent denervation of the carotid sinuses to achieve CPD plus complete sinoaortic denervation (CPD + SAD). After control measurements, ANG II was infused for 5 days at a rate of 5 ng. kg(-1). min(-1). In the intact state, 24-h control values for mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the ratio for urinary sodium excretion from Den and Inn kidneys (Den/Inn) were 98 +/- 4 mmHg and 1.04 +/- 0.04, respectively. ANG II caused sodium retention and a sustained increase in MAP of 30-35 mmHg. Throughout ANG II infusion, there was a greater rate of sodium excretion from Inn vs. Den kidneys (day 5 Den/Inn sodium = 0.51 +/- 0.05), indicating chronic suppression of renal sympathetic nerve activity. CPD and CPD + SAD had little or no influence on baseline values for either MAP or the Den/Inn sodium, nor did they alter the severity of ANG II hypertension. However, CPD totally abolished the fall in the Den/Inn sodium in response to ANG II. Furthermore, after CPD + SAD, there was a lower, rather than a higher, rate of sodium excretion from Inn vs. Den kidneys during ANG II infusion (day 5 Den/Inn sodium = 2.02 +/- 0.14). These data suggest that cardiac and/or arterial baroreflexes chronically inhibit renal sympathetic nerve activity during ANG II hypertension and that in the absence of these reflexes, ANG II has sustained renal sympathoexcitatory effects. 相似文献

The assumption that tachycardia during light to moderate exercise was predominantly controlled by withdrawal of cardiac parasympathetic nerve activity but not by augmentation of cardiac sympathetic nerve activity (CSNA) was challenged by measuring CSNA during treadmill exercise (speed, 10-60 m/min) for 1 min in five conscious cats. As soon as exercise started, CSNA and heart rate (HR) increased and mean arterial pressure (MAP) decreased; their time courses at the initial 12-s period of exercise were irrespective of the running speed. CSNA increased 168-297% at 7.1 +/- 0.4 s from the exercise onset, and MAP decreased 8-13 mmHg at 6.0 +/- 0.3 s, preceding the increase of 40-53 beats/min in HR at 10.5 +/- 0.4 s. CSNA remained elevated during the later period of exercise, whereas HR and MAP gradually increased until the end of exercise. After the cessation of exercise, CSNA returned quickly to the control, whereas HR was slowly restored. In conclusion, cardiac sympathetic outflow augments at the onset of and during dynamic exercise even though the exercise intensity is low to moderate, which may contribute to acceleration of cardiac pacemaker rhythm. 相似文献
